Our Verdict
ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM
MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED
The MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED and the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM are both QD-OLED monitors with a few differences. The ASUS is the better choice for console gaming as it has a higher resolution for more detailed images, and while both monitors have HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, the ASUS can at least take full advantage of the Xbox Series X|S and PS5. On the other hand, the higher 360Hz refresh rate on the MSI is better for competitive PC gaming.
